OK, share things that "everyone RAVES about" but when you tried it/went there/ate it etc it left you properly underwhelmed and you've almost ashamed to admit it. Don't need to give details or reasons, just name THE THING
I'll start........

I was distinctly underwhelmed by Cornwall.

Can't stand Harry Potter.The books are crap and badly written and Daniel Radcliffe's portrayal of HP is crap. He can't act for toffee.

Mama Mia - I felt so embarrassed for the cast. The plus side was that I watched it on telly so didn't shell out £££ for the experience.
Game of Thrones - utter shite.
Tom Hardy
Boden - overpriced frumpy tat.
Spa days. Just no. A very expensive verruca paradise.
Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. Vacuous, talentless, just what is the point of them exactly? Confused
The Eden Project, that's a hideously expensive waste of money few hours I'll never get back. We could probably have dined out at the Ivy for what we paid for a few very unappetising sandwiches and soft drinks.

I’m usually quite easily impressed/pleased so the vast majority of the things on this thread I either like or love or have guessed are not for me and avoided. But the exceptions are:
Florence (polluted, theme parky)
Frank Sinatra (that song was written by George sodding Gershwin, just sing it the way the genius wrote it FFS)
Cheese (not worth the calories)

You clearly doing it wrong!

@lapdance
I don't really care what their intentions were when they started the company, I am underwhelmed with the place and I find the way it's spelt uninspiring! Do you work for them?! Hmm

LapdanceShoeshine · 15/10/2017 23:28

No. I just don't care how they choose to spell their company name.
